Atalanta Preview – Can Atalanta move into top four?
All three points for Monday night’s hosts, Atalanta, in this upcoming clash against bottom club SPAL would see the home side move into 4th place at the expense of current occupants, Roma, as Atalanta possess a superior goal difference of +8 before tonight’s match.
Atalanta have maintained their push for a top four finish by collecting recent wins against Brescia, Hellas Verona, AC Milan and Parma along with a result which would have felt equal to taking three points when they held Inter Milan to a 1-1 draw away from home last time out in Serie A.
Indeed, Atalanta have suffered just 1 defeat out of their last 6 matches and this turnaround in form has been most welcome and timely following a mini-slump which saw the hosts endure a 4-match spell without a win in the Italian top flight.
Nevertheless, a home record of 5-1-3 28/14 includes winning their last 3 home matches on the trot with victories over the aforementioned Hellas Verona 3-1, AC Milan 5-0 and Parma 5-0 as the goals have also flowed.
SPAL Preview – Can SPAL stay the pace?
Having lost 5 of their last 6 matches overall in the Italian top flight which has dumped the visitors to bottom place in Serie A, it doesn’t look very hopeful for SPAL here as they make their way to face an in-form Atalanta outfit in their own backyard on Monday night.
Losses to Inter Milan, Brescia, Roma, Hellas Verona and Fiorentina have further exacerbated what has been a wretched season for SPAL as they sit bottom of Serie A and 4 points adrift of fourth from bottom side, Lecce, and safety prior to this tough fixture.
A surprising 2-1 win away at Torino has been the only highlight for the visitors on their travels so far in this season’s poor Serie A campaign as they’ve also slumped to three defeats out of their last four on the road amidst an overall poor away record of 1-1-8 4/16.
To make matters worse, SPAL are also the lowest goalscorers away from home in the division, having failed to score in 7 of their 10 away matches to date this term.
